8The Daily Tar HeelThursday, April 99, 1982 Sing ing flaws production of -IDamn By NISSEN RITTER Am Editor The Village Dinner Theater's production of the musical comedy Damn Yankees, directed by Bob McDowell, has only one major weakness no one can sing. The play follows the attempted corruption of middle aged baseball fanatic Joe Boyd, played by Jim Thomp son. Boyd spends his days in front of his television set fantasizing about leading his favorite baseball club, the Washington Senators (conspicously dressed in Carolina blue uniforms), to victory over his least-favorite team, the New York Yankees. But when Boyd proclaims that he would sell his soul to the devil for the opportunity, the trouble begins. Enter Applegate played by Vernon Steele a petitie, frail man dressed in a satanic black suit. Only his red socks and shirt gave away his identity; he is the devil himself. Applegate offers Joe the chance to become the greatest baseball player of all time in exchange for his soul. Old Joe Boyd runs offstage, and returns as young Durham Savoyards present By CALDWELL GRAY Special to the DTH In the true spirit of Gilbert and Sullivan, the Durham Savoyards have put together a delightful version of the famous two-act operetta, The Mikado, which opened last weekend at Page Auditorium on Duke Campus. The pro duction continues its run Saturday, May 1 and Sunday, May 2 at Stewart Theater on the North Carolina State University campus. Set in old Japan when the Mikado is ruler, Nanki-Poo, the emperor's son, played by Richard Dideriksen, is in search of his scrumptious love Yum-Yum, played by Elizabeth Clark, a UNC stu dent. A rather complicated but comical plot revolves around these two and their dealings with craxy town leaders, Ko-Ko. advertisment N RMflUIMI sponsored Volume 2, Number 29 1981-82: Fetzer The opening of the Robert A. Fetzer Gymna sium has to highlight the 1981-82 year in Intra mural s. Opened in September, almost two years be hind schedule and still lacking completion in some parts, Fetzer's completion ushered in a new era in North Carolina's IM-Rec Sports Pro gram, Department of Physical Education, Ath letic Program, Sports Club Council and for UNC's female community. Though Fetzer is not the new "women's gynCas, it . was dubbed by ..many during, con- structiorv a.does. otter, rnucnjriore iQCkec roora. space for women and male faculty. But more im portantly for UNC IM'efs, Fetzer's completion opened Woollen Gym for more free play and IM activities. Only Bowman Gray Pool remains hurt by the crowded crunch, and the Aquatics Center that will be built along side the new Student Ac tivities Center, scheduled to open Fall '85, will alleviate that problem. Probably the biggest problem in Intramurals that Fetzer was able to alleviate, however, was the racquetballhandball-squash court crunch. Though the courts in Fetzer did not open until January, 15 new racquetball and five new squash courts enhanced that part of the IM-Recreational program significantly. In addition, the courts in Fetzer brought UNC some publicity with the ProAm Handball Tour naments in February, part of the official pro tour; and the Eastern Seaboard Racquetball Tourna Mid-playoff softball rankings ..''.'"''"

McDowell's casting of Christopher Miller as Joe Har dy proved to be a major mistake. As the star of the show, Miller's restrained singing style combined with his monotone delivery managed to reduce his role to a bit part. His character was completely unbelievable. But the remaining members of the cast covered up the gap. Steele's characterization of the satanic Applegate was especially entertaining. He was one of the few members of the cast who could hit the right note at the right time. Unfortunately, Steele's character had only one musical number. Applegate's evil cohort Lola, portrayed by Jan Leigh Herndon, demonstrated her talent as an excellent dancer, especially during her second number in which she attempts to seduce Joe Hardy. However, her rendi tion of "Whatever Lola Wants" was a little weak. Hern don performed in both the national touring company and a recent Broadway production of "A Chorus Line," and it showed. Patti Emler and Stephen Barrier as news reporters the Lord High Executioner, played by Donald Horstman, and Pooh-Bah, Lord High of Everything Else, played by Bob Storck. The cast shows a genuine love and respect for Gilbert and Sullivan, reflected in the excitement surrounding each song. The name of the company reflects the fact that they wish to continue the tradi tion of the original Savoy Theater in Lon don, where Gilbert and Sullivan shows were produced for more than a century. The Durham company has added their own touches of satire and comedy to the originally Victorian force. Dialogue about Jesse Helms, discos, the proposed Nixon Library, and the Arts Council as well as dances mimicking the Radio City Rockettes and old vaudeville acts give the story some refreshing modern perspectives.

This year might be remembered as the year Teague bounced back after being dethroned in the IM point system championship by Granville DW. DW opened strong by knocking Lewis from the track & field championship loft, but both Teague A and B finished strong throughout the year and remained 1-2 in the residence hall stan dings at press time.

Though softball still was not finished at press time, Chi Phi's drop in swimming (third place) and its two soft ball playoff losses had all but clinched the title for DU, its fourth in five years. Super Teams, the season-ending bragging-rights-only climax of the year's point system for residence hall and frat units, featured the Teagues, Stacy and Lewis, DU, Chi Phi, Kappa Psi and Sig Ep. It was to close to call at press time. '81-'82 women's IM's was highlighted by the return of the sorority point system, the results of which were also inconclusive at press time. Jake Kelly of Chi O and ZTA's Cynthia Knight led the system's return, receiving support from both the Panhellenic Council and the IM pro gram, and most of the individual sororities.

At times, though, during the dress rehearsal the small stage did not do justice to the large production scenes which resulted in crowding and awkward blocking. Choreographer Dawn Frisby, striving for fast-paced happy dance, achieves natural, easy movement for the entire cast. During smaller dances with only two or three performers, however, singing talents overshadowed dancing abilities. The enthralling and vivacious songs of Gilbert and Sullivan are carried to their peak by the lead players. Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum project a wonderful chemistry that carries through each of their songs. Ensemble numbers where Ko-Ko and Pooh-Bah join the lovers employ well balanced harmonies and dance. Technical aspects of the performance N Thursday, April 29,1982 rolls again, Teague new system is designed differently than the frat system and all sorority scheduling remains with in either the women's rec or women's competi tive divisions.

This year featured gymnastics becoming an IM activity, and the official IM Athlete of the Year, Darren Biehler of Granville West and win-" ner of the Fall Super Teams Competition (de cathlon), won that meet.

Both actors brought across the stereotypical sarcasm and cutthroat mentality of the press without seeming corny. Barry Hamilton, Mark Monaghan and Raphael Nash who play Joe's teammates on the Washington Senators steal the show. They can act, sing and dance all of the basic requirements of an entertaining musical. McDowell must be commended for his sophisticated choreography and all of the performers should be prais ed for their dancing ability which managed to make the small, dinner theater stage appear to be twice its normal size. Though the bare set basically met the needs of the pro duction, the hanging scenery seemed awkward and un necessary. The small chandelier dangling over the seduc tive Lola's chaise lounge seemed inappropriate and gave the scene an intentionally comical effect. But despite the cast's deficiency in the singing depart ment, Damn Yankees proved to be an entertaining evening. were adequately carried out. Colorful sets and costumes created a festive ap pearance to the stage, adding to the hap py craziness of the story. One line from the play's finale characterizes the appeal of the Gilbert and Sullivan opera: "Then let the throng our joy advance, with laughing song and merry dance." The Durham Savoyards' eagerness to carry on such a valued tradition coupled with well-rounded artistic abilities make The Mikado an evening of pure entertain ment.

The also two-year .old faculty-staff program fared better, maintaining its level of partici pants, seeing team sports increase in partici pants, and individualdual sports decline. Instant scheduling finished its second-full year with Softball's end, and the sportsmanship rating for the big four team sports, its first. Both ? seem to be secure in their place in the UNC IM program, M officials said.' ' ' ' . Tonight, the '81-82 IM year at North Carolina officially comes to a close with the Spring Champion Picture Session at 7 p.m. in the IM Rec office, and the crowning of the eight soft ball champions on Carmichael fields, as play continues in Super Teams, co-rec water basket ball, squash, racquetball, tennis, bowling and table tennis. It was not known at press time whether rain would push softball play into the exam period. Super Teams concludes today, 1 p.m., in the Pit wjrith the tug-of-war finale be tween the frat champ and dorm champ. Looking to next year, indoor soccer and in . door lacrosse, both of which will be played in the astro-turfed Hilton Indoor Track (Tin Can), could be the newest IM attractions. The twice dropped "all-nighter," a 24-hbur compete-a-thon throughout the athleticIM complex in several sport areas, might get its daynight in the sun. But the traditional competitive events that has kept the UNC IM program so strong through the years will remain. The now traditional recrea tional and special events will also return, and the over-1 0,000 UNC students and faculty-staff members who actively engage in the IM pro gram's 100 activities yearly, and thousands more who take part in the free play activities, will con tinue to recreate, compete, exercise, and inter act, and depart from Woollen healthier people thus allowing IM's to reach its ultimate goal. voUeybaB, basketball, badminton, and cross country between the top four residence hall teams and four top frats based on the over-all IM point system... residence hall winner and frat winner square off in a -finale tug-of-war today 1 p.m. to decide the 1982 Super Teams Champion. . .

Couldn't do it. There have to be at least 15 and there arguably could be a dozen more. But I am attempting 15. . This is indeed the golden age of athletics at the University of North Carolina. While I was sports editor of The Daily Tar Heel from February 1981 to February 1982 there were two national championship teams women's soccer and lacrosse. First as a fan and then as a jour nalist, I enjoyed my four years here. And why not? Not only is college con sidered the best time of your life, while I've been here North Carolina has had some of the best teams in history. That's why it's so hard to pin down (that's to satisfy the wrestlers) the 15 biggest and best moments. But here goes: , . 1 UNC basketball coach Dean Smith gets the monkey off his back after six trips to the final four as UNC beat Georgetown 63-62, March 29, 1982 in New Orleans on the seventh try. Freshman sensation Michael Jor dan scored the winning basket with 13 seconds left. James Worthy dunked over Sleepy Floyd and Pat Ewing and went on to get most valuable player. Senior Jimmy Black playing in his last game, went to his knees with tears streaming down his face with two seconds left. Dean Smith said "thank you" to his team. . 2 The UNC lacrosse team, guid ed by Hopkins graduate Willie Scroggs, defeated perennial national champion Johns Hopkins 14-13 in the summer of '81 to give the University its first national championship team since the 1957 NCAA victory over Kansas in three overtimes. 3 Al Wood went crazy in Phila " delphia in the-1981 NCAA basketball semifinals, scoring 39 points to lead the Tar Heels to a convincing 78-65 win over Virginia. It was the most satisfying win, possibly in history, for UNC fans. 4 Everybody was underestima ting the football Jar Heels back in 1979. They were outmanned, outclass ed and an outcast people said as they prepared to meet the Big Ten's Michi gan Wolverines in the Gator Bowl.

They came out with an 8-3-1 record and national prominence as the Tar Heels handled Bo Schlembechler's team 17-15. Quarterback Matt Kupec and tailback Amos Lawrence were co most outstanding players. 5 Secretary of Defense Dudley Bradley stole the ball. Clyde Austin had his pocket picked and it was costly for the Wolfpack. With UNC behind 69-68, and Austin, as always, slickly controlling the basketball with just one second left, it looked like it was all over. And then along came Dudley for the steal and the two-fisted slam dunk to win the game at the buzzer for Carolina. Because the space limitations that this paper invariably has, I will just mention the next 10, which are not in order. - A six-run eighth inning including three home runs as the Tar Heel baseball team beat Duke 8-5 in the 1981 ACC Tournament. A two-run ninth against Virginia this year to tie the score at 2-2 and a squeeze play in the 12th to give Carolina its first ACC baseball cham pionship since 1969. The 1981 women's soccer team breezing through its season and cap turing the national championship in Kenan Stadium. The famous Amos Lawrence 1 1-yard draw-play against Duke in the last game of the 1978 football season to give UNC a 16-15 last second win.
